Always Plan Ahead! Christmas Comes Every Year

At NCSL Savings & Loan, our mission is simple: to financially empower our members by providing secure savings and loan products that support their goals and everyday needs.

As the festive season approaches, many people face unexpected expenses. Unfortunately, this often leads to unplanned borrowing, which can turn a joyful Christmas into a stressful and costly experience.

That’s why at NCSL, we emphasize that planning ahead is the key to enjoying life’s most meaningful
moments, especially when family and community obligations are
involved.

By starting early and setting aside a certain amount—whether fortnightly, monthly, or on an ad hoc basis— for Christmas or any other purpose, you’ll be better prepared to manage unexpected expenses and may even avoid borrowing, saving yourself extra costs.
For example: Christmas is celebrated every year. While it may be too late to save for this festive season, you can start anytime for the next one. And because we believe in the Christmas spirit, we offer an interest rate that’s hard to find elsewhere.

Our Christmas Savings Account supports this approach by offering the following:

  • 6% interest per annum on balances up to K100,000
  • 3% interest per annum on balances above K100,000
    (Terms and conditions apply)
    This tiered interest structure helps your savings grow while preparing for family celebrations, gifts,
    community contributions, or personal goals.
    Why Choose NCSL for Your Christmas Savings Account?
  • Tiered Interest & Competitive Rates – Earn high interest on savings while enjoying affordable loan
    rates compared to other financial institutions.
  • No Account Keeping Fees
  • Member-Owned & Focused – A large portion of NCSL’s annual profit is credited to members’
    General Savings Accounts.
  • Digital Convenience – Access your funds anytime via MyNCSL Member Online, the MyNCSL App,
    or USSD (*628#).
  • Inclusive Financial Access – Serving members across towns, villages, and workplaces with
    mobile registration and employer awareness programs.
  • Trusted & Secure – Over 160,000 members rely on NCSL for safe, transparent financial services.

fund my holidays trips back to my home village during the festive period.”

Wayne – ExxonMobil

“Through NCSL’s 1:5 loan product—which allows members to borrow up to five times the value
of their savings—I was able to purchase a Toyota Harrier SUV in July 2022 and pay nearly
K12,000 in school fees for my son. These achievements have significantly supported both my
personal and family needs.”
